Organic Korean Mint Seeds (Agastache rugosa). Korean Mint is part of our organic seeds for Canada selection. Tall purple flower, spiky leaves and strong mint aroma. Very attractive for pollinators. B9+, C+, K+, Ca, Fe, K, Mg. Life cycle: perennial. Expected height: 61 to 121.9 cm (24 to 48 in). For practical seed starting, growing from seed succeeds best when the verified product depth, moisture and temperature guidance is followed.
Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before planting outside in early spring. Pinch off the top sets of leaves regularly starting at the seedling stage for a bushier, healthier plant. Transplant outside when plant is 3 to 4 in tall. Water deeply for a healthy root system. 1/4 in 13 to 23 °C. Germination generally takes 14 to 30 days under the recommended conditions. Space plants 45.7 to 61 cm (18 to 24 in). Use the product details as a clear guide on how to start seeds while keeping the growing medium evenly moist, never saturated. For indoor seed starting, count back from local conditions and frost dates to decide when to start indoor seeds.
Pick often for higher production. Leaves can be harvested starting first year. Brassicas, Yarrow, Potato, Petunia, Tomato, Squash, Eggplant, Bell Peppers, Lettuce. The packet contains 100 seeds.

Growing method
For Korean Mint, follow these sowing and growing guidelines for the variety. Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before planting outside in early spring. Pinch off the top sets of leaves regularly starting at the seedling stage for a bushier, healthier plant. Transplant outside when plant is 3 to 4 in tall. Water deeply for a healthy root system. 1/4 in 13 to 23 °C. Read the packet directions before starting and keep the label so the variety remains clearly identified throughout the season. Prepare a clean, loose, well-drained growing medium and moisten it before placing the seeds so they are not displaced by the first watering. Keep the seedbed evenly moist without standing water because excess moisture reduces air around developing roots. Move seedlings into bright light as soon as they emerge and rotate containers regularly to encourage balanced growth. Where several seedlings compete for the same space, thin carefully and retain the strongest plants without disturbing their roots. Before outdoor planting, gradually acclimatize young plants to wind, sunlight, and changing temperatures over several days. Follow the stated spacing so air can move between plants and each plant receives adequate light, water, and nutrients. Water at soil level when the surface begins to dry, then adjust frequency for weather, drainage, and container volume. This seed starting sequence supports reliable growing from seed while preserving the product-specific depth and temperature facts.

Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Growing Korean Mint in a container requires suitable volume, drainage, and exposure. 10 to 15 L per plant with free drainage. Match the container to the plant's development and provide free drainage from planting onward. Read the packet directions before starting and keep the label so the variety remains clearly identified throughout the season.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions,answered.
How many Korean Mint seeds are in the packet?
For Korean Mint, the packet information states: Approximately 100 seeds · lot GO-0000681 · germination >85%. This wording preserves the commercial approximation when one is provided and helps plan the number of containers or the length of the row without turning an estimate into a guaranteed count. Keep the packet closed in a cool, dry, dark place until sowing time. Keep the label with the seedlings so the variety remains correctly identified throughout the season. Use clean containers and write the sowing date on a water-resistant label. Avoid exposing unused seed to moisture or large temperature swings.
How should I start Korean Mint seeds in Canada?
For Korean Mint, follow the detailed sowing schedule in the product record. The recommended method is sowing from seed, at a depth of 6 mm (1/4 in). Follow these product-specific directions and adjust timing to the average last-frost date in your area. Moisten the growing medium before placing the seed so the first watering does not displace it. Label every container and maintain even moisture without allowing standing water. Move seedlings into bright light as soon as they emerge to encourage balanced growth. Thin carefully when several seedlings compete for the same space. For seed starting, label the cultivar and use the stated sowing depth instead of a generic estimate.
How long do Korean Mint seeds take to germinate?
For Korean Mint, the stated germination period is generally 14 to 30 days under the recommended conditions, at a germination temperature of 13 to 23 °C. Keep these conditions as steady as practical while allowing excess water to drain away. The temperature of the growing medium matters more than the surrounding air during this stage. Check moisture below the surface before watering again and avoid saturating the medium. Good air circulation helps young plants remain vigorous after emergence. Wait until the normal germination window has passed before assuming a seed will not emerge. When growing from seed, keep conditions stable for the full stated germination window before disturbing the mix.
Where should I grow Korean Mint in the garden?
For Korean Mint, the recommended exposure is Partial shade. The stated spacing guideline is 46 to 61 cm (18-24″). For container growing, the product record recommends: 10 to 15 L per plant with free drainage. Allow for the mature habit so neighbouring plants do not restrict light or access for harvest. Choose a site that is easy to water and leave enough room for air to circulate around the foliage. In a container, make sure several holes allow excess water to drain freely. A light mulch can steady moisture after the soil has warmed and plants are established. Place plants where their growth can be observed and stress can be addressed early.
When and how should I harvest Korean Mint?
For Korean Mint, observe seasonal development and use the period of interest stated in the product record as a guide for enjoying the plant in the garden. No part should be eaten without explicit confirmation that it is edible for the exact species. Use a clean tool and handle the harvest carefully to avoid unnecessary injury to the plant. Harvest in dry weather when practical and remove damaged portions promptly. Wash only the parts intended for the kitchen and refrigerate perishable produce promptly. Never eat a plant part whose identity or edibility is uncertain.
